Big Update

i finally unpacked the box with the adapter to get the pictures onto the computer! after i loaded them i realized i have barely taken any....... so i had to take a few more. lol

So we are officially almost moved in! Nick started his new job at morgan stanley about 2 weeks ago now. He likes it okay.. its a job :) more of a career move though. we went out last night and got him 3 new suits and shirts/shoes/accessories to go with them, boy does he clean up nice :) when they come back from being altered i will totally post pics of my well dressed man :D

My job lately has been on the home front. cleaning. organizing, painting. in order to move in to the "apartment" we had to build a wall, so that there would be 2 bedrooms downhere instead of just one.

its a pretty huge basement so we built the wall not really in the middle but in like a third of it.

this is the wall at the beginning of the process.

then this is during the mudding/ sanding stage (gross btw, my snot was full of that crap for days lol)

and this is what the apartment looks like now. sortof, we still have alot to get put away. and i just made a trip out to lansing to grab more boxes yesterday. so it was almost empty.

My father-in-law has used the basement as his pool room. so there is a huge pool table right in the middle of the "dinning room" area. aparently it costs a couple thousand dollars to have them moved so that is out of the question, i asked him if we could push it up against the wall and then he said that if we move it a little then he has to have someone come out and balance it which also costs a few hundred dollars.... im so excited to look at the hugantic pool table everyday, and since i am such a pool shark... i am even more excited to get to play pool.... ...... aaanyway.... lol

i took all these pictures while standing in the middle of the room
thats our bedroom door and the hallway that leads to wil's room at the end
kitchen the bathroom is right there too and the beautiful pool table there on the left.

our "front door" with the gorgeous pool table there on the right :)

this is the view from the french door in our bedroom :) its real pretty
this is the porch outside our bedroom door, there on the left :)
this is the view from that porch


this is our favorite place to play, wil plays in the sand box and i sit on the porch swing and watch the lake. ugh so nice

and this is chocolate covered Wil, not quite as tastey as a chocolate covered doughnut but still really sweet lol. i locked him in his room while i painted one night with a tiny, i mean tiny handful of M&M's haha, who knew he could turn 7 m&m's into such a ridiculous mess. everything was covered, the doors the walls the baby gate the rug... omgosh it was everywhere. he reached out for a hug and i reached for the camera lol

Nick in all of his spare time lol has built himself a super computer. i mean this thing is sick. liquid cooled tubes runing around the inside cooling the parts lol. neon green tubes. its got 4gigs of ram right now but can handle up to 12. the processor is a quad core pentium. which is just crazy lol. best video card and motherboad avaliable on the market right now. the case had to be hugegantic to fit it inside. the case itself, totally empty weighed 70lbs lol. he got a 24 inch high def monitor.

i took a picture of tango sitting next to it just to comprehend the size lol. we could have fit his old computer inside it lol

but thats just the fun stuff. Nick's car was in the shop getting a new windsheild and tires last week, so i had no car. then this week the stupid thing broke down on his way home from work on monday night so its back in the shop, they say the timing belt broke, which is expensive and apparently it could have bent all the valves in the engine.... even more ridiculously expensive to fix. everything i seem to do lately has been a comedy of errors. from the car breaking down to Wil getting car sick in the middle of the expressway on our way to lansing. then tango being sick all night in gross little spots all over the carpet lol. with all the running around we have been doing i still havent gained any weight. im almost 17 weeks along and im still down 4 lbs from when i got pregnant.... ugh i still have to pick a new doctor and get our new insurance settled before my next appt which is the 26th for my ultrasound. i really want the ultrasound to be with the doctor i will be delivering with, just to make me feel better but i need to get the new insurance info in the mail. sooo stressed haha.

oookay so i think we are caught up :) ill stay on top of this blogging better now lol

oh i think i forgot to mention that my mom was here for my bday and she got me a new camera!!! but really the best thing she did was printed my blog out from the past year page by page and made a book for me! i havent really been journaling just blogging and im always talking about how i need to print it out and she did it for me, i cried, what a simple and thoughful gift. im still so greatful. i cant believe its been a whole year since ive been blogging lol. so hopefully she will print this out for me too to add to my book :)
